Combat Skill up effects discussion: Martial Master, Prouesse Ring, Saltena, Poultry Pitaru

[Tribe]

Interestingly if you use a physical AoE WS on multiple mobs you have a chance to gain a skillup on each target that takes damage. With Saltena, when skilling up GSword and Parrying on PLD with AltepMandies I pulled 20~ of them and when I used Shockwave, I'd get about 2-3 0.5's and 1-2 0.1's off a single WS.

Oh boy going to go take my war to attohwa, pull the Chigeos + Mandies and see if I can cap Gsword from 168 >.> Im guaging should take about 15mins. longest time sync will be the pulls

Basically like this every single WS> I imagine it will be even better the closer I get to cap since these are DC and 280ish skill is like fighting IT++, so infrequent skillups.

I cannot remember where, but I swore somewhere I read it capped out higher than 15%. I think the figure that was being tosses around was like 60-75%. I'll see if I can find it again.

[Ophannus]

I cant see them increasing Parry's usefulness without being gamebreaking. Even if it were to cap at 10%, thats 10% chance at nullifying all physical damage. Parry shouldnt be any higher than 3-5% if at all. Guard is still 15% at 75% damage reduction which is pretty sweet for a non tank job that also has a million HP and counter and high evasion. The only fix should be the skilling up when taking damage even if it doesn't proc, like how evasion can skill when getting hit.

[macross]

I already said parry caps higher than 3-5%. I was parsing 9% when skill wasn't even capped yet. It's probably 9-10% vs EM monsters though. Doubt anyone wears + parry gear or merits parry anyhow. But you never know, might be some nice stuff later on that will have some parry or guard skill added too it to make capping the skill worthwhile. Not like it's hard to cap anymore so no excuse to not cap them.

[Deadgye]

Going purely from possibly faulty memory here, but I thought parry capped at about 20% once your skill went over a certain threshold compared to the mob. (Meaning if you had 80% evade rate you'd parry 4% of all attacks.)

SE should make a trait for jobs like DRG and WAR that don't have native defense abilities for when we pull hate called Riposte. Riposte would increase Parry rate and give a high chance of countering when parry procs.

then you better prepare for a retaliation from him

[dasva]

Well that's certainly thought provoking

[Valisk]

If he does, I'll go berserk.

[Kaisha]

It's not like Warrior really needs more of a defense bonus too.

Just whoa very nice indeed. Now curious could this translate to any AOE ws? I have never tried using AOE weapon skills on big pulls of mobs before to skill up now this really has me curious. Can't wait to pull out my staff and get busy and try it lol...

[Atoreis]

If he does, I'll go berserk.

I'm now confused who is aggressor here.

[Korremar]

This is getting out of hand, guys. Show a little restraint.

We need to rally the troops behind a single warcry.
